The Latest: Funding deal has wins for both sides

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the bill being negotiated on Capitol Hill to fund the government through September (all times local):

11:30 p.m.

The $1T budget deal that congressional negotiators have reached this weekend will keep the government running through September and includes some wins for both political parties.

The measure funding the remainder of the 2017 budget year eliminates cuts to popular domestic programs like medical research and infrastructure grants. Trump did obtain $1.5 billion for border security measures such as additional detention beds. And he got a $15 billion down payment on his efforts to strengthen the military.

GOP leaders also did not try to use the must-do spending bill to “defund” Planned Parenthood and the White House backed away from language to take away grants from “sanctuary cities” that do not share information about people’s immigration status with federal authorities.

The measure is assured of winning bipartisan support in votes this week. The House and Senate have until midnight Friday to pass the measure and thereby avert a government shutdown.

The top Democrat in the Senate is welcoming the deal on a $1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September.

Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York says the pact is a “good agreement for the American people, and takes the threat of a government shutdown off the table.”

The bill rebuffs President Donald Trump’s request for a down payment on the border wall with Mexico. Trump said repeatedly during the campaign that Mexico would foot the bill for the wall and Mexico says it will not.

Schumer says the measure ensures that “taxpayer dollars aren’t used to fund an ineffective border wall.” He also says unrelated policy provisions have been omitted and the bill funds medical research, education and infrastructure.

Top Capitol Hill negotiators have reached a hard-won agreement on a huge $1 trillion-plus spending bill that would fund the day-to-day operations of virtually every federal agency through September.

Aides to lawmakers involved in the talks announced the agreement after weeks of negotiations. It’s expected to be made public Sunday night.

The catchall spending bill would be the first major piece of bipartisan legislation to advance during President Donald Trump’s presidency. It denies Trump a win on his oft-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, but it gives him a $15 billion down payment on his request to strengthen the military.

The measure rejects White House proposals to cut popular programs such as funding medical research and community development grants. It adds $1.5 billion for border security.

Top Capitol Hill negotiators are reporting progress toward a long-sought agreement on a massive $1 trillion-plus spending bill that would fund the day-to-day operations of virtually every federal agency through Oct. 1.

Aides say lawmakers closely involved in the talks have worked through many sticking points in hopes of making the measure public as early as Sunday night. The House and Senate have until Friday at midnight to pass the measure to avert a government shutdown.

The catchall spending bill would be the first major piece of bipartisan legislation to advance during President Donald Trump’s short tenure in the White House, but it denies Trump a win on his oft-promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
